Hatcher joined our family rather unexpectantly in October 2006 after losing our CBR, BJ, the Lymphoma in September 2006.  Hatcher had been living as a kennel dog at his breeder's for use as future stud service due to his loving personality.  She thought it was a shame he was not part of a family, and as fate would have it, we were put in contact with each other.  The rest is history!  At home, Hatcher relishes his role as referee for his 2-legged brother (14 years) and sister (13 years) as well as nursing momma (Lupus & Kidney Disease) when needed.  He enjoys his daily swims in "his" pool as well as retrieving whatever is thrown for him!  On the dock he has his game face on as he is very serious about what he is doing, shaking with anticipation for every jump!  He is even known to break away on occasion to try to get himself an extra jump without a handler.
